bonus_crab , in Antibiotics May Soon Become Useless | The Walrus

Ive nearly shit myself to death over the last 2 weeks thanks to antibiotic resistant campylobacter. Hoping the 3rd and 4th antibiotics can help me get rid of this thing.

logi , in BREAKING: Mystery Illness Impacting Texas, Kansas Dairy Cattle is Confirmed as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Strain

Bird flu still hasn’t migrated to mammals. Let alone humans.

USDA reports that affected dairy cows do not appear to be transmitting the virus to other cattle within the same herd. APHIS says based on findings from Texas, “the detections appear to have been introduced by wild birds. Initial testing by the National Veterinary Services Laboratories has not found changes to the virus that would make it more transmissible to humans, which would indicate that the current risk to the public remains low.”

Are you saying that cattle aren’t mammals?

I_Fart_Glitter ,

They’re trying to say that cattle can’t give it to other cattle, only birds can give it to mammals… so far!

jittery3291 ,

Yes, it has infected plenty of mammals. It has caused mass die offs in aquatic mamals in South America and has spread through a mink farm in Europe. But no, it does not appear to have adapted to transmit more easily between humans yet.

logi ,

I heard a marine biologist just last week saying marine mammals were being infected by sick birds that they had eaten. At most I see talk of suspicion of transmission between mammals like in that Spanish mink farm. So I still think people are getting carried away ITT until I see some science to the contrary.

jittery3291 ,

It has, over the past few years, adapted to spread from birds to mammals more effectively, but so far does not seem to be transmitted from one mammal to another more easily. The fear with finding large numbers of herbivores (who don’t eat dead birds) positive is, I suppose, that this could signify further genetic changes. Not saying this is definately the case, but it is still an important development and it’s good that people are taking this seriously. Furthermore, humans have a lot more contact with farm animals than wild predators, so zoonosis is probably more likely to occur from one of these animals than like… a sea lion.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying we should panic - the fact the animals are not too sick is good to hear - we just don’t want to be caught with our trousers down (again).

logi ,

Agreed on all points. But ITT there are people jumping the gun a bit. And some heavy downvoting if you don’t join the chorus.

capital ,

We should continue our horrid factory farming practices and give it the best chance. /s

Jax ,

You can’t expect people like this to understand anything beyond their agenda.

logi ,

Agenda? :rolleyes:

4grams , in Trump’s Net Worth Hits $6.5 Billion, Making Him One of World’s 500 Richest People
@4grams@awful.systems avatar

What does the world insist on playing these fucking games. Everyone knows that is all bullshit money, I mean, he’ll make a shitton off a worthless meme stock but we’re not talking billions.

I’m so fucking tired of all this.

Fixbeat , in Man arrested for allegedly taking leg after California train incident and 'eating it'

When life brings you leg and you are a hungry bum, you abscond with that limb and get you some!

francisfordpoopola , in Detective wore wig and posed as victim to catch US scammer who stole gold bars
@francisfordpoopola@lemmy.world avatar

A lady down the street had her mom get taken for $500K of gold bars. She loaded it into their car. Thought she was part of a scheme that the FBI was investigating and she was to not tell her family else it would rope her family into the group of suspects. None of it makes sense but to her it was completely believable.

gwildors_gill_slits ,

Why did some random lady you know’s mom have $500k worth of gold bars?

francisfordpoopola ,
@francisfordpoopola@lemmy.world avatar

They had her take her retirement money, pull it out and convert it to gold because they told her it was safest that way. They said by being physical the thieves couldn’t take it. The irony.

Come to think of it another old lady friend got taken for 20K but it wasn’t the gold thing. I think it was just good ole graft. Sad story. Her kids took over her estate after consulting with her and are now forcing her to move into an old folks home. They are selling her home she’s had for 50 years. A friend offered to buy it direct and they said nope… talk to the real estate agent. A holes.

RestrictedAccount , in Elon Musk and X lose lawsuit against anti-hate nonprofit

Can we just get with the March In Rights on his military backed space programs and let the rest to flounder without all the government subsidies already?

GlendatheGayWitch , in Trump bond lowered to $175 million as he appeals civil fraud judgment in New York

Great, with that timing, should Letitia James go after his properties in Seotember, that will only help him drive supporters to the ballot box with the election so soon after.

jmanes ,
@jmanes@lemmy.world avatar

His supporters would end up at the ballot box either way. They are dedicated to the brand.

GlendatheGayWitch ,

The major supporters sure, but that timing could help push people that are still on the fence towards Trump.

Republicans as a whole are better at going to vote than Democrats are, especially so in red states. We don’t need more events scheduled to further rally and anger the right a few weeks before the election. There was already too much violence after the 2020 election.

werefreeatlast , in Appeals Court Bails Trump Out of Having to Post Massive Fraud Bond

Actually he can’t pay that much either!

Poor Trump!

Okay, I figured it out! How about all his republicans buy his golden shoes, I wash his car, and give him a personal back massage? Rob you fix up his fence, Stephen, you and Mary go and vacuum under all his beds. Frederick and Stacey will do the cooking for month.

How does that sound? And I also want to give him 5 bucks. Is that okay for bail?

But, but, but, I only like girls! , I couldn’t possibly! And my neck and knees hurt! Fine! Okay but only the top and only for a minute. Rob will take second turn when he’s done with the fence.

Or that every election isn’t a “pivotal election.”

PhlubbaDubba , in Bentley CEO says sales are down because the rich are experiencing ‘emotional sensitivity’ due to the cost of living and don’t want to flaunt their wealth with a new luxury car

Just homebrew something if you’re that worried about it, worst case you have a nice new car, best case, you have a legitimate competitor if you can find the capital, which you most likely can because you’re a rich fuckass.

Pretty sure just having a not I-Pad dash alone would get your brand selling like hotcakes.
